source file: mills2.txt Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 11:01:27 -0800 Subject: Auditory Display Conference From: John Chalmers International Community for Auditory Display This might be of interest to Tuning List'ers as sonification, aka Auditory Display, is a possible commercial application of the type of material we work with. For example, converting mass spec or IR spectra to sound sometimes makes recognition easier as some people's acoustic pattern recognition ability is superior to their visual. The resulting sounds when presented seriatim become non-just, non-ET scales and when presented simultaneously, non-harmonic timbres. The notice (forwarded I think from the IMCA mailing list): ICAD '97, is a program of the International Community for Auditory Display. ICAD is a not-for-profit corporation created to support research, education and community formation in the emerging field of auditory display. The primary projects of ICAD are the conferences, the listserve (icad-request@santafe.edu) and the ICAD Web site (http://www.santafe.edu/~icad). Since auditory display researchers come from a wide variety of disciplinary, professional, and geographical backgrounds, ICAD seeks, above all, to facilitate communication across boundaries. A membership organization founded in 1996, ICAD welcomes participation in its programs and governance.
